JE Forged Piston Sets

JE Forged Piston SetsSome specs on JE Zetec pistons. These are available in 2 compression ratios. A regular Zetec is rated at 9. 6: 1. An SVT is rated at 10. 2: 1. The below information assumes a regular zetec, so INCREASE the rated compression by approx . 5 point if you are installing this in an SVT engine. JE 298715 Bore 85mm, Dish. 8. 0cc dish volume. 9. 0: 1 CR. 303 Gram weight. JE 298716 Bore 85. 5mm, Dish. 8. 8cc dish volume. 9. 0: 1 CR. 310 Gram weight JE 298717

JE 298718 - Bore 85.5mm.  Dome.  4.5cc Dome Volume.  11.0:1 CR. 324 Gram Weight

• The Zetec pistons will ONLY work with an aftermarket floating pin type forged rod with a 20mm diameter (take a look at the Eagle rods on this site).  They will NOT work with the OEM zetec OR SVT rod.  

A word about bore sizes:

• 85mm - a stock Zetec 2.0 found in Focus, Contour, ZX2, etc is 84.8.  When overbored .007", this brings the bore to 85mm
• 85.5 - Zetec bore to .027" oversize

As the leader in forged racing pistons, JE Pistons has applied over 75 years of experience to its wide range of premium forged pistons for European, import and sport compact applications. Engineered, forged and machined 100% in the USA, JE Pistons are designed for each specific engine and racing application to provide the ultimate combination of durability and performance. From drift track to drag strip, JE Pistons’ performance is proven in victory lane time and time again. Equip your engine with the best in forged pistons.

• Forged in the USA using 2618 aluminum, yielding high tensile strength needed for high-demand performance applications
• Designed specifically for each engine and use application to provide optimized performance durability
• Proprietary Forged Side Relief (FSR) forging design minimizes friction and power loss with reduced skirt width and saves additional weight with a shorter wrist pin
• Skirt coating (depending on application) reduces friction and wear on piston skirts and cylinder walls while simultaneously reducing operating noise
• Accumulator groove (depending on application) helps reduce pressure from combustion gases, reducing ring fluttering and improving ring seal for consistent power
• Includes high-quality wrist pins, locks, and JE Pro Seal premium piston rings
• Made 100% in the USA
